HENRY CLEWS SAYS GOLD WILL NOW ACCUMULATE IX THE UNITED \ STATES.* EXPORTS OF GOLD CEASE OX ACCOUNT OF HEAVY MOVE MENT OF GRAIN AND PROD UCE. MATTER OF ENCOURAGEMENT That Trade Conditions Are Being Relieved by Entirely Natural Methods. »eclal to the Globe. NEW YORK, Sept. 29.— 1n his weekly review of the financial situa tion Henry Clews says: Wall street affairs present no new aspects of striking importance. The gold exports have ceased, excepting that over $2,000,000 was sent out in connection with Austrian "conver sion" requirements, and outside of ordinary exchange questions. It is very generally taken for granted* that, for the next three or four months, the supply of produce bills will take care of our accruing for eign indebtedness; and, judging from normal experience, it would not be surprising if there should be imports of gold during that interval. This change in the position of our for eign exchanges has not produced any marked effect upon securities, perhaps mainly because the im provement in the situation was an ticipated. It is a matter of- encouragement that the outfiew of gold has ceased in a NATURAL WAY, and without any direct intervention by the syndicate. This shows that affairs are regaining a natural course and opens the way for more formal remedial measures that need to follow. We have now before us, j to all appearances, three or four ! months of easy exchanges, during which the treasury is not likely to be exposed to further drain upon its reserve. That interval affords a fa vorable opportunity for bringing about the conditions needful to. guar antee the treasury a steady gold in come equal to its requirements. The" idea of bringing together the banks* ] and the treasury under their former ! relations, so that each will pay enough gold to the other to satisfy their respective requirements, is be coming very generally regarded as the most direct and natural method of putting an end to the gold famine, but it is felt that the present hold ings of the treasury and the .city banks do not warrant the change being undertaken at this moment. Though the stock of gold in the . country is nearly equal to an aver age and really ample for these pur poses, yet during the late demoral ization it has become scattered throughout the country, and needs to be gathered again to this center. The widespread readiness of the holders to exchange this gold for legal tenders places it within easy reach of the treasury and the banks, and if we add to this any foreign supplies that may arrive and the home production of about $4,000,000 per month, it will be seen that the RESUMPTION OF GOLD PAY- | MENTS . between the government and the banks, by the beginning of 1896, should be within the possibility of achievement.: There are important financiers who' have their eye upon this treatment of the situation and who are not likely to neglect any opportunities of promoting it which may arise during the next three months. These, however , are contingent achievements, and although they may warrant a hopeful feeling in finance and trade yet, being possibilities rather than certainties, it must be expected that the future will be regarded with reservations. .■ No matter what reme dies may be proposed or hoped for, so long as none are positively accom plished there remains the danger of a return of drains upon the treasury, with all their bad consequences. This fact must act as a wet blanket upon the market for our investments both at home and abroad and speculation for higher values must be in some measure restrained. But while this factor may prevent any active upward movement, it is not likely to cause any fall in prices, because the feeling as to the future Is preponderantly hopeful, and outside the treasury situation ■ every thing augurs well for a prosperous con dition of business. ' The course of the local money mar ket Is watched with more than usual interest. Currency still continues to flow to the West and South in large volume, and It looks as if the bank re serves may be considerably further re duced before the movement culminates. The chief interest in this tendency cen ters in the fact that, a rise of one or two points In the rate for loans would, In the present sluggish state of the European money markets, be calculat ed to cause foreign balances to rest here Instead of being sent home, the effect of which would be to depress the rate of exchange and thereby pro mote importations of gold, so greatly needed under the existing conditions. The situation In stocks Is calculated to create an active and fluctuating trading market,- rather than to develop any large outside -movement for the ■ present. The position of railroad shares \ favors strength In those properties. The : grain roads show a steady gain In earnings, and the good condition of the i large crop of corn is especially favora ble to the future of companies de pendent on that cereal. The coal com panies are benefited by the upward I tendency In prices and by the favora j ble prospects of an early settlement : of their differences. The settlements \ of railroad companies in process of re , construction are still subject, to delays and olvstructlons, .which "'-.hold in check ' > speculative operations in their .securi ! ties. Taking the situation as a. whole, I while it presents no "special induce • ments calculated to draw in the general public. It. is nevertheless sound and j steadily improving^ : and j purchases on ST.

LONDON, Sept. 29.— The extra call for money due to the Increased de mands In the mining markets and the usual quarterly requlremens have been only slightly felt In the money mar ket and the rates were virtually un changed. There was some talk, how ever, of colonial borrowings, and it is evident that France will shortly ask for a heavy loan to cover her float ing debt and the expense of the Mad agascar expedition. The stock market has been occupied- with a heavy set tlement and little frsh business was done. The mining market continues to almost monopolize attention, though the tone was generally distinctly firm, especially for American railroads, con sols and other high-class stock. RECEIVER BIGELOW. He Will Reach St. Paul Today . Sure to Accept. MILWAUKEE, Sept. Frank G. Bigelow, one of the newly appointed re- oeivers for the Northern Pacific toad, left this even ing for St. Paul, in company with Attorney General P. Miller, of this city. Before leav ing the city he saidthat he should probably remain until Wednesday. He declined to be interviewed as to the objects of his trip, but said he was not going for F. G. BIGELOW. the purpose of seeing Receiver Mc- Henry, as the latter was not at St. Paul. "There Is no doubt, is there, that you will accept the position of receiver?" was asked. * - "I think not." He had nothing to say as to the pub lished interview with Attorney Mc- Naught, of St. Paul. NEW YORK, Sept 29.— The Herald says today that the View and old whisky trusts have settled their differ ences. "It says that it is understood that the trust has agreed to suspend hostilities against the independent dis ! tilleries and that the American Dis i tributing company will not in future ' cut rates. According to the report the ! settlement with Messrs. Greenhut, I Morris and Terrell was made on Fri j day night. It provides that these gen j tlemen shall sin-render to the com | pany the leases of ground upon which \ the distilleries stand,' many of them ' having been held by Messrs. Greenhut and Morris. The owners of the land will give) bonds for the fulfillment of the contract. ■■•■■- ..,,.- .. While Messrs. Greenhut and Morris were in power $1,000,000 of bonds were issued to them at 50. Numerous threats were indulged In by the now management to compel them to re turn these, bonds. . Messrs.- Greenhut [land Morris have agreed to return these bonds at the price they paid ' for them. Suits were brought by the new man agement to compel certain old direc tors to disgorge, and the former di rectors brought counter suits to pre vent the new company from purchas ing the assets of the old concern. Besides the owners of the ground on which many of the distilleries stand threatened to. seize the property in or der to make good their claims. The agreement reported to have been entered into on Friday night provides -for the discontinuance of all litigation and the trust will now have smooth sailing except for the threatened at tacks of Attorney General Moloney, of Illinois, who asserts that the reorgani | zation of the company under the laws ! of New York will not free it from the power of the state of Illinois. _Bhs A CHECK OX BLOOMERS. People of Birmingham Effectually Stop' the Craze. .; ,J' BIRMINGHAN, Ala., Sept. 29.— Women of this city may ride bicycles, but they have put away all Idea of adopting bloomers, and all on account of a clever trick resorted to by those who oppose the fashion. When the craze first struck the city, none but extremely young girls appeared -on the streets In the bifurcated garments. It was whispered, however, that the young women, and some not so young, ' were hastily preparing their new suits. j Then the antibloomerites played it low ' down. They employed a coal-black ne ! gress of ponderous weight and flabby I form to ride a bicycle through the i streets day after day. They attired her in a gorgeous costume, consisting of flaming r red waist, blue trousers, with a wide white stripe down the sides, and bright yellow hose. Ow ing to her great avoirdupois, this gro tesque figure perspires at every pore as she wheels along the street, but she was well paid for her labor, and the bloomer craze has been killed for ever In Birmingham. ELECTRICITY OX THE CAXAL. Ground Is Broken for a Trolley Line on the Erie. NIAGARA FALLS, N. V., Sept. 29.— Ground was broken at 1:35 o'clock Sat j urday afternoon on the bank of the ! Erie canal In Tonawanda for the erec tion of a trolley line to test the feasi bility of the application of electricity to canal boat towing. Frank W. Hawley, vice president of the Cataract General Electric com pany, turned the first sod. The test is likely to occur Saturday, Oct. 12. If the motor to be used demonstrates merit and Inspires confidence, it will be adopted for general use on the canals and the line extended through the state, a fact which may be a ma terial factor in solving electrical trans mission for long distances. " Deputy Superintendent of Public Works Lay represented the state to day and was delighted at the bright prospects of success. Mr. Hawley said • the line would bear cheap light, heat, and power to cities at a distance from Niagara, thus ushering in a new in dustrial and economic era. W. Caryl Ely prophesied it would divert an enormous business into canal chan nels and that all cities and towns ; along the canal would be benefited. J The boatmen present looked forward to the test with great eagerness. . Killed by n. Preacher's Bicycle. ADRIAN, Mich., Sept. Rev. Mr. Hudson, a prominent Baptist clergy man, who for many years held a charge at Hillsdale, accepted a call to the church at Tecumseh a few .weeks ago. Thursday night, after, the customary '■■ service, he started home on a bicycle. ' At a dark street crossing, he collided with Miss j Woodard; fifty years old, who was walking home from church unattended.- She was picked up un conscious and died -last : night. The unfortunate pastor is prostrated with grief. 111 THESE PULPITS WILL METHODIST DIVINES EX POUND THE SCRIPTURES THE X COMING YEAR. '[ ; V APPOINTMENTS ANNOUNCED , '- --.„" _______ .{'■• ' '.1 REV.

Sermon , **o the Assembled Del- ' i egates. -- r ; Special to the Globe. : " ■ FARIBAULT, Minn., Sept, 29--' Today was the closing day ,l of the Methodist conference, and was full of interest The exercises were all held in the opera house, the better to accommodate the crowds of peo pie who attended. V - The day's proceedings opened with a love feast at 9 o'clock. At 10:30 : Bishop Fowler preached. This serv- ; ice was opened with prayer by Rev. O. H. P. Smith. Rev. John Stafford read the scripture lesson. The bishop took for his text Phil xx., 9: "Where fore God has also highly exalted him, and given him a name which' is above every name." He said in part: - ■* * ' I ask you to come with me into the great galjery of God, filled with; great characters, men with the same desires and passions and ambitions as ours, in every attitude. I ask you to pass by all the other charac ters and to come to the one great character of Jesus. Simply looked upon He is as a "root out of dry ground, without form and comli ness," but apprehended and some what comprehended, He is the"chief est among ten thousand . and ; alto gether 10ve1y." ... Behold the Son of God putting away the crown of the King of Heaven, and coming down to all the abominations of earth and taking us in His arms that we may be exalted to become the sons of. God. Because Jesus turned aside from the unspeakable bliss of heaven for the loneliness of a human sepul cher, because He exchanged the . songs -of seraphs for the hootings of a human mob, therefore God hath highly exalted him. ]; , We have premonitions of the things that will come to us to try our, con stitutions and test our courage. V' We could not otherwise endure them. God hath woven into our being that events shall cast their shadow be fore them. And we measure the im portance of events by the prepara tions for them. We judge "of the im portance of the coming of Jesus by the preparations for the great event. His coming illumined the contries be fore it The whole world was pre pared for it. . For ages the chosen' people were trained and educated so that they could be fitted for His advent' by giving them some .con ception of purity and justice and ' righteousness and the enormity of sin. For centuries the Roman power had increased until it was spread like a shield over the world, to give a protection to the followers of the i Nazarine, as they entered upon the teachings of his doctrines. - I also find some indication of- the exaltation of Jesus by the company j j He keeps. This is not an unfair test ; • to judge a man by his associates. . j we had in society for Jesus. ,: He! I brought His society with Him. .We | judge of His dignity and character j of His position in heaven by the j character of the men who heralded . ■ His coming. There was Noah. : --__ | great man. I suppose you are think-; ] . ing of His one blunder, when He: got drunk. 'It seems to be one of the I j characteristics of our nature to think, ! whenever we hear a name mentioned. j to think of any mean thing we know about him. But Noah was a 'great I man. We do things on earth, by the i rule of the majority. But once in five or six centuries there comes to earth a man who is able to -button up the majority in one ' overcoat. Noah was such a man. But he was only . a footman, running before , to' tell the multitudes of earth of the coming of our Lord. And a few cen turies farther down . the stream of time I see another man, called the friend of God. Abraham, capable of a magnificent purpose, and faithful | to the calls of God. - But great Abra ham was only a barefooted runner before the chariot of the King. Bus I "see another man, educated in the- ■ best schools of the day.' Forty years an Egyptian, forty years an Arab, forty years a Hebrew. Great Moses, having the experience and .learning*: of three civilizations. With the . training of 120 years of study. The greatest man of the; day, and who ' stands foot to foot with the fore most scholars of our time. He gave to man a code of laws which stand today in every civilized country.: But great Moses was also a messen ger running before the King's char iot . Another indication of the exaltation j of Jesus is the work He has done. And this Is the best test of all. 'And Infinite and eternal Jesus, whom -God ' hath so highly exalted. Is our advocate, and has sworn to aid us to be more; than conquerous. Let us trust him.

Flames Finally Subdued by Fire- Fighters Front the Neighbor- :j ' ing City. - * Special to the Globe. — GOODHUE, Minn., Sept. 29.— An immense throng of people gathered here this afternoon to view the re mains of the elevator and ten other buildings burned this morning. The fire is supposed to have been started by a drunken Swede. The alarm was given at 12:30, when James Ahern's barn was found ablaze. The flames spread rapidly to Anderson's barn, hotel and store, C. E. Ruck er's general merchandise store, How ard & Co.'s drug store, T. B. Shel don & Co.'s elevator and Pat Kelly's machine and buggy depot. Six cars, one containing merchandise, were burned on the tracks. Mr. Catlin, the telegraph operator, was the one first out, and he wired to the Red Wing fire department via Wi nona for a special train with fire apparatus, which arrived at 3:30. Several buildings were saved and the fire quenched by the Red Wing de partment. Officer Anderson went searching for the supposed incen diary. A high wind made it impos sible for the citizens to accomplish anything, they being without ap paratus. The losers carried possibly $10,000 insurance. Losses are esti mated at $40,000, viz.: Ahern's barn and three horses, $500; Anderson's store, hotel and barn buildings, ss,ooo; stock of general merchandise, $4,000; C. E. Rucker, new I store building, $1,500; stock of general merchandise, $4,000; Doxey, building, $1,800; drug store of Howard & Co., $1,200; Shel don & Co.'s elevator, $6,000. also five carloards of grain and several carloads of hard . coal; Pat Kelly's machine depot and stock, $5,000; six Duluth, Red Wing & Southern cars, one containing merchandise. Mrs. Goetting in the Rucker building, and three families in s the Doxey building lost the most of their household goods. Very little stock was : saved from '-: the | stores, which were -~ all frame. The fire gutted them rapidly. Mr. Blodgett, one of the ; owners of the elevator, states it will be rebuilt at once. Rucker will also rebuild. FIREBUG WAS BUSY. Three Mankato Barns Burn— of Horses Cremated. Special to the Globe. MANKATO, Minn., Sept. 29.— Tonight about- 10 o'clock three barns caught fire In an alley between Front and Sec ond streets. There was about fifteen minutes difference in the time of start ing. The first was the Washington house barn, which was entirely con sumed, together with three horses, a pair of valuable pacers owned by J. Gould, and one by the proprietor of the hotel. The Insurance on the barn was $1,000. The next barn was three blocks west in the same alley, belonging to the R. F. Jones estate, but was saved.

Gen. Nelson A Miles is to succeed Lieut. Gen. Schofield in the office of gen eral in command of the United States army. Gen. Miles made a state ment of the fact tonight to a re porter of the Associated Press, say ing that he was informed of Presi dent Cleveland's determination to appoint him on Friday last, by Sec retary of War Lamont, whom he met in this city by special appoint ment, at the Metropolitan club. Gen. Schofield retired from active service at noon today, and it is probable that the appointment of Gen. Miles will be announced tomorrow or soon thereafter. The . general will, go to Washington in a few days to assume the duties of his high position. This announcement will set at rest the rumors which | have agitated army . circles during the past year concerning Gen. Schofield's probable successor. While Gen.. Miles was the senior major general -"of the army and one of the most popular person ally with jj his subordinates, it was reported that he was, for some rea son, persona non grata to the presi dent, and that the fact that he had no diploma from West Point might weigh against j his chances. Gen. Ruger was the principal rival for the appointment mentioned. There was also an impression in some "" quar ters that the office of general of the army might be left vacant, for some time, as there is no requirement of law for such a position, and as there are precedents for leaving it unfilled. Only once since the army was organized, however, has the president failed to appoint the senior general to the command of the army. When Gen. Miles was seen by a re porter of the Associated Press to night at his headquarters on Gov ernor's island, he spoke freely of his appointment, "My informant," said the general, "was Secretary Lamont, whom I met | by special appointment at the Metro- f politan club in New York last Fri- j day. Naturally, I was much grati fied. In a sense, however, my ap pointment is not a promotion, as the grade of lieutenant general became extinct with the retirement of Gen. Schofield. I will enter upon my new duties with as little delay as possi ble; in fact, as soon as the secretary of war issues the order announcing my succession." When asked whether Gen. Ruger will succeed him in command of the department of the East, Gen. Miles replied: "That is the general im pression, but, of course, I cannot speak authoritatively." WASHINGTON, Sept. -29.—Secre tary Lamont declined to make any statement tonight regarding Gen. Miles' prospective appointment to succeed Gen. Schofield. SCHOFIELD RECOMMENDED IT. "Why Lamont Promoted Col. Henry Over Whiteside-. ■ WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.— Secretary Lamont said today, in reference to the detail of Lieut. Col. Guy Henry as com mandant at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., which was the subject of criticism, in asmuch as Lieut. Col. Whiteside, sta tioned at Jefferson Barracks, ranks him, that the appointment of Col. Henry was made on the recommenda tion of Gen. Schofield. The recom mendation of the general of the army, said he, "is always followed In matters of detail. It implies no reflection .on I Col. Whltesides, who, I have no doubt, will receive a satisfactory detail." .**; in_ BENNY WILL j EXPLAIN. Ex-Prertldent to Drop Into Litera ' tore to Please the Indies.

V. SMALLEY REVIEWS THR, WORK OF THE DEEP WATER.- WAYS CONVENTION * T THE OUTCOME IS PLEASING) BUT WOULD HAVE LIKED IT HAJf THE RESOLUTIONS BEEN - MORE DEFINITE. OPPOSITION TO THE PROJECT, • Attitude of Eastern Delegates Col Some Fitrure on the Re sult, i -_ , E. V. Smalley returned yesterday; morning from Cleveland, where ha has been attending the meeting o£ the international deep waterways convention. While gratified over the additional impetus given by the con vention to one of his favorite proj ects,. Mr. Smalley would have pre ferred that the Cleveland resolutions should have been more definite; "I have no doubt that more spe cial recommendations would have been made in the resolutions if it hadn't been for the attitude of the Eastern delegates. There is a good deal of opposition to the deep water way scheme. This opposition is per fectly natural, for it comes from peo ple that are deriving a big profit from the present condition of af fairs. If the St. . Lawrence, for in stance, is deepened this side of Mon treal, it's possible that business that now stops at Montreal will go past that city and benefit Toronto or, other localities farther West. Buf- ! falo doesn't take kindly to the pro posed plans, because she is now get ting rich from her immense transfer business of cargoes unloaded from, lake vessels and shipped East via the Erie canal. As a matter ot course what would aid a separate deep water route would hurt tha Erie canal interests. This Eastern opposition no doubt prevented the ; West's securing a definite recom- j mendation from the convention in favor of concentrating all imme* diatc ; effort on the building of a deep canal around Niagara fallsT - "The Western states have been working for "years to deepen an out let to the. ocean. . They have . worked constantly from the West eastward* By great effort they, have at, last se cured a .;. twenty pot"; channel clear through from _ ' Duluth - to - Buffalo. | = From * that point the present channel : -is *■- much » shallower. ' In • the *-' Welland canal there is.; only fourteen ieet_x)_, water,* which means only twelve feet of channel actually navigable, and a similar condition appears in other can als along the St, Lawrence. . Yet the Canadian government has spent an immense amount of money In. im proving Its canal system and intends to spend more. With twenty feet as far as Buffalo, the. next thing for us to do is to get past Buffalo. This means, as I said, a deep canal around the Falls. It might be twenty miles long and would COST SEVERAL DOLLARS, ii but It would be a good thing. But in spite of the efforts of the . Western delegates to concentrate the conven tion's Influence upon a definite plan for a deeper channel between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, the opposition* from the East defeated our object, and we were asked to remain satisfied with resolutions in favor of glitter ing generalities. Nevertheless, the del egates from Minnesota, Manitoba, Michigan and Chicago, who have done most to further the movement here tofore, " were much pleased to find themselves supported, at Cleveland, by representatives from Wisconsin, Ohio and New York. These three states have never before aided our plans. Why, there were even some of the Erie canal people at the conven tion. Without any doubt both nations are learning to see the advantages of a channel that would permit large ocean-going freight steamers to enter the North American continent as far as the head of Lake Superior. "So far, there are three routes pro posed for the new water way. All three of them require a canal around Niagara Falls. But the first clings, as at present, to the natural passage to the ocean via the St. Lawrence. To perfect this route, the Welland canal and all the canals along the St. Lawrence would have to be cut down to a depth of from 22 to 26 feet. The second route utilizes the same river as far as Lake St. Frances, which is merely a widening of the St. Law rence just north of the boundary of New York state. From Lake St. Fran cis a canal would be constructed across a level- stretch of country to the head of Lake Champlain. There Is already an old-fashioned, small can al from Lake Champlain to the Hud son river at Troy. This canal and part of the Hudson itself would have to be Improved, and the second route would then be complete. The third route starts from Lake On tario, at Oswego. A canal from Os wego would connect with Lake Oneida in central New. York. From this lake the Mohawk river, leading to the Hud son, would have to be deepened or canalized. Of the three routes, the second, via Lake Champlain, is prob ably the cheapest, but the third, via the Mohawk, .has the great advantage of ing entirely In American territory, providing the passage around the Ni agara Falls is made on the American side. For minitary and other reasons, an outlet strictly American would be preferable. . . "The government of both this count try and Canada have already author ized the appointment of International deep water ways commission. Presi dent Cleveland has not yet appointed the American members, nor have the Canadians been named. I think, how ever, that the commission will be formed very soon, and then something definite can ; be looked for. With - a sufficient appropriation, SURVEYS CAN BE MADE of the different proposed routes, and something more than guess work statements will be afforded as a blsia for estimating the relative cost and ad vantage of each route." "Personally, I enjoyed the three days' session at Cleveland very much. Be cause I have written a few magazine articles In favor of the deepwaterway project, I was received most kindly bjl
